 | Orienteering 1:33:33 [3] 5.1 km (18:21 / km) | |
| shoes: Orienteering shoes |
| Another course at Barebones. This terrain had lots of depressions and very few continuous contours that could be used as handrails (such as reantrants). I got a little confused a couple times, though mostly I was just one depression to the side of the depression where the control was or something like that. |
| Orienteering 24:25 [3] 2.2 km (11:06 / km) | |

| A night-o. For the second control I tried to head down a trail from a clearing, but I ended up on another unmapped trail instead. I wasted a few minutes there, but the rest of the race went pretty well. |
| Orienteering 5:00 [3] | |
| |
| 3-legged score-o. Holly and I were doing ok until the end when we sped up for the last control and then we started laughing and couldn't get coordinated again after that. |

| A long-o at Barebones. I didn't make any huge mistakes, I just had to see how the area was mapped and it was slow going through some of the green. |

| Running Games 1:00:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics |
| It was a "fun day" at cross country, so after going for a run, we played sharks and minnows, blob tag, and then ultimate frisbee which all involve running, though not very intense. |

Wednesday Aug 29 |
| Running 29:00 [3] 3.1 mi (9:21 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| Running the cross-country course at Lincoln Park. We jogged the course though sped up on all the uphills. Even though this was an easy run, my body just felt really tired. |
| Running 5:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics |
| practicing finishes at Lincoln Park. We were running 150-200 meters at about 80% several times. |
| rock climbing 1:00:00 [2] | |
| |
| I went rock-climbing with some friends in an indoor gym. My arms were already tired from push-ups at cross-country, so I didn't do as many climbs or as hard of ones as normal. |
Tuesday Aug 28 |
| Running 30:15 [3] 2.75 mi (10:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| A 2.5-3 mile run from school to North Acres, a loop there, then around Haller Lake, up to Igraham (where we stopped and did a track workout) and then back to school. |
| Running 16:15 [3] 2.5 mi (6:29 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| Working on pacing at a track.
The times we were aiming for were: 400 m in 2 min, 400 m in 1:50, 400 m in 1:30, 800 m in 3:00, 400 m in 1:40?, 200 m in 0:45?, 800 m in 3:20, 200 m in 0:40, 400 m in 1:30. We kept being a few seconds too fast, so we had to keep running more. There was about a minute rest between each. I haven't run around a track for a while (I've just been doing long slow distance), so my pacing was worse than normal. Running in a huge group of people makes it harder to pace as well. |

Monday Aug 27 |
| Running 44:00 [3] 4.0 mi (10:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics |
| We jogged the cross-country course at Lincoln Park and then did about 1/3 of it again, just trying to learn it. It's fairly flat. |
| Running hills 15:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics |
| We ran up one of the hills on the course 3 times, and up a longer one twice. |

| Biking 51:00 [3] | |
| |
| I biked to Discovery Park, around, and back home. This was a good way to get exercise and give my shins some rest (not that they've been hurting, I've just been running a lot more this week than I have been the rest of the summer). |
